Rating:  - An Excellent Primer for Daily Warfare
Robert Greene writes in a powerful and concise manner with a focused topic. Previously, he wrote the "48 Laws of Power", an amazing book which took forms of power and breaks down the use and methodology of power with historical cases. He does the same here but with Warfare. The topic is not limited for use by real warriors. Indeed, if Clausewitz said that "War is diplomacy by another means," then one would have to ask if "Diplomacy is War by another means." If so, then the diplomatic ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Strategy Book
I truly enjoyed this book. There are very few strategy books that are as detailed, yet readable. As part of my kendo training, I've read a number of Japanese strategy books such as Book of 5 Rings, which are essentially incomprehensible unless you have training. The best strategy book I've read prior to this was The Way and the Power by Lovrett, which is also readable and excellent.
Rating: - Excellent Book, Author!
This is my third Joost Elffers book and along with the others, it is a great example of using historical references for learning how to become better. This can be a pleasure read, a historical text, or a self-help book. The quotes are very relevant and bias breaking, and the stories are taken from all types of civilizations and cultures. I am a big fan of this book as well as other Joost Elferrs books
Rating: - Fight, fight to survive!
When I mean powerful, I mean POWERFUL. I couldn't have read a more influential book--aside from the 48 Laws of Power--than the 33 Strategies of War. At first, I thought this book was only about war and the strategy of blowing people up. Instead, it's about survival. What intrigues me about Robert Greene's masterful work is that he doesn't make things appear perfect. He's not your typical motivational speaker where if you have a tinge of hope, everything will be juuuust fine. No, that's not how ... Read More
